Talus Outdoor Technologies http://www.talusoutdoortech.com/ co-founders, John Sullivan III, and father John Sullivan Jr., have never been in a rush to push their invention into the marketplace.
Both men wanted the ColdAvenger extreme weather face mask to be just right.
“We also wanted to see it validated by athletes who understood its value in cold climes,” said Sullivan Jr. an Arizona physician and toxicologist.
Two years and some 300 prototypes later, father and son feel closer to perfecting the technology that raises the temperature of air breathed in through their mask by 40 to 60 degrees, and allows users to avoid cold weather respiratory trauma, and remain outside longer.
